Our Packaging

We are extremely careful about what we use for our packaging because we are committed to the amount of waste we are producing in the world. Why? Because mishandled waste goes into a landfill. Nothing breaks down in a landfill and the more that goes into a landfill, more landfills will be created. More landfills equals less nature, more toxins and gases in the air that are linked to various degenerative diseases. If we create products whose packaging doesn’t belong in a landfill, we can make an impact. If we can impact you to dispose of our packaging (and all other packaging) properly, we can make a huge impact.
Please check out a break down of what our packaging in made of and how it is best to get rid of (or not get rid of) it. Check back from time to time because we are always evolving our ideas on packaging and what is best for our products.

Our macaroon packages are made from a wood fiber that composts best in a composting facility. You can put them in your backyard compost, but it will take a long time for them to break down. The labels are made out of recycled paper. **In October 2011, our macaroon packaging will be changing to a new material which will break down in your backyard in four months! Stay tuned…

Our granola bags are made out of a recycled craft paper with a plastic window. These are best disposed when you rip out the window, recycle the bag and recycle the window separately. The inner bag is a wood fiber bag that is best composted in a composting facility. The labels are made from recycled paper.

Our chocolate sauce, nut butters and bulk ingredients are packaged in glass jars. These are intended to be re-used and we encourage you to do the same! The label is made from recycled paper.

Our trail mixes and sprouted nuts are packaged in a special zip lock bag that is compostable! These can be composted outside, in a composting facility or even better, re-used. The label is made from recycled paper.
